What are the parts of the DECIDE decision-making model?

• A. Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, Evaluate
• B. Define, Evaluate, Choose, Implement, Decide
• C. Decide, Evaluate, Create, Initiate, Do, End
• D. Detect, Evaluate, Choose, Implement, Do, End

Answer: (A)

The DECIDE model is a six-step decision-making process that guides action in a structured way: Detect the situation, Estimate the risks and options, Choose the best course of action, Identify the concrete steps needed to carry it out, Do the chosen action, and Evaluate the results. This sequence matches the letters D-E-C-I-D-E, so Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, and Evaluate is the correct set. It starts by recognizing what’s happening, then assessing risks, picking a plan, outlining the exact steps, acting, and finally reviewing what happened to learn and adjust if needed. The other options mix in different words (like Define, Create, or End) or reorder steps in ways that don’t align with the DECIDE acronym, so they don’t represent the same model.
